After a moment of dizziness, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi found themselves on a wasteland.
They were surrounded by white mist as if they were in a forest in the early morning. The air was a bit humid, and the visibility was low. They could only see things within a range of one to two meters.
Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were both wearing thin Daoist robes and felt a bit cold. Hao Ren circulated the Spirit Concentration Scroll to resist the cold. However, Zhao Yanzi was shivering and couldn't stand the cold without her Dragon Core.
Hao Ren quietly held her little hand. She was about to struggle when she felt a surge of warmth passing through his palm into her body. She knew that Hao Ren was trying to warm her up. After a moment of consideration, she put her hand into his.
Hao Ren didn't dare to act rashly since it was his first time entering the Nine Dragon Palace. He stood still and took out the map that Zhao Hongyu gave him.
Zhao Yanzi looked up at Hao Ren and took out a mini compass from her bracelet. She pointed in a direction and said, "This is the east."
Hao Ren turned to look at her, thinking that she was still useful. After confirming the direction, he could straighten the map in his hand. According to Zhao Hongyu, they should have appeared on the east side of the Origin Dragon Great Hall. In other words, they should be heading west now.
"Follow me." Hao Ren put away the map and pulled Zhao Yanzi in the opposite direction to the east.
Zhao Yanzi was a bit unwilling to be dragged by him. Her footsteps changed from fast to slow, making her look like a burden.
"Zi." Hao Ren suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.
"Ugh?" Zhao Yanzi raised her head.
"First, I want to make sure of one thing. We didn't enter the Nine Dragon Palace to play. Also, as you can see, those who can enter the Nine Dragon Palace are the most talented people in the four dragon palaces. The Nine Dragon Palace only opens once every few decades, and it's not easy to get in. "
Hao Ren stared at her very seriously and said word by word.
Zhao Yanzi pouted. Hao Ren continued, "Last but not least, I didn't enter the Nine Dragon Palace to visit. I want to collect some godly elixir pills and see if they can help your Third Uncle recover his cultivation strength."
Zhao Yanzi didn't want to listen to Hao Ren's lecture, but after hearing his last sentence, she froze and bit her lip.
"Six hours, that is, six hours, which is almost the time for the afternoon classes. Therefore, I don't want you to throw a tantrum with me during these six hours. What we need to do now is related to whether your Third Uncle can recover his strength and whether West Ocean can suppress us."
Hao Ren's expression was extremely serious. Zhao Yanzi looked at him, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
"Let's go." Hao Ren held her little hand and continued walking.
This time, Zhao Yanzi didn't drag her feet. Instead, she quickened her pace and followed him closely.
Ren, Hao Of Hao, turned, and of! Hao Of of Hao Hao Hao's Of in of Of of of of.
These data might not be useful this time, but they were all very important parameters when collected.
Zhao Yanzi didn't know what Hao Ren was murmuring. If she knew that Hao Ren was calculating the distance, she would admire his attentiveness.
Perhaps it was because they were in the abandoned dragon palace, the overall atmosphere was a bit gloomy, and the thick white mist made it hard for them to see clearly. Zhao Yanzi grabbed his hand, feeling the warmth from him as she moved closer to his body.
"Zi, check to see if we went astray," Hao Ren asked her.
"Um!" Zhao Yanzi took out the compass and looked at it. "Yes, it's still heading west."
"12859 steps. That should be 6,000 meters," Hao Ren calculated in his mind. "If we walk at a speed of five kilometers per hour, even if we speed up, it will be almost an hour."
"Six hours. One hour has passed," Hao Ren said to Zhao Yanzi at this thought.
"Ah? An hour has passed? "Zhao Yanzi was astonished.
"Hurry up!" Hao Ren held Zhao Yanzi's hand and jogged forward.
While running, Zhao Yanzi put away the compass. She didn't expect that she had spent an hour just by walking for a while!
Although they had to conserve their energy in the Nine Dragon Palace, time was of the essence!
However, the few ancient array formations in the Nine Dragon Palace were still active, which meant that they couldn't use flying techniques in this space!
Even walking consumed nature essence! Zhao Yanzi didn't feel it because Hao Ren was transferring nature essence into her body, but Hao Ren knew that his nature essence was draining rapidly with every step he took!
This seemingly ordinary brownish-yellow wasteland was not as simple as it looked! If he didn't count his steps and convert the nature essence into nature essence as he walked, Hao Ren would have stopped moving a long time ago!
It must be for this reason that only cultivators in their fifties or sixties could enter the Nine Dragon Palace in the past, and the young cultivators weren't allowed to enter, even though the young cultivators had two chances to enter the Nine Dragon Palace. If they only had a little bit of cultivation strength, it wouldn't be enough for the Nine Dragon Palace!
While running, Hao Ren felt like the nature essence in his body was pouring out like running water!
He didn't have a lot of nature essence to begin with, but it soon ran to the bottom!
Hao Ren immediately stopped and took a few deep breaths. After some calculations, he realized that he had only run about 200 steps!
"What's wrong? You can't run anymore?" Zhao Yanzi turned back and looked at Hao Ren in surprise. In her memory, Hao Ren's physical strength should be stronger than hers!
Hao Ren let go of her hand and said, "Try running by yourself!"
"Running is not difficult at all!" Zhao Yanzi was a running champion at school, so she swung her arms and ran forward.
She had only run five or six steps when she felt a heavy pressure on her legs. With a plop, she sat down on the wasteland.
Seeing her embarrassed look, Hao Ren couldn't help but laugh. He walked over and pulled her up.
Zhao Yanzi blushed. She didn't know until now that Hao Ren had used all his nature essence to walk such a long distance with her.
"Let's go," Hao Ren grabbed her soft hand and said gently.
Zhao Yanzi nodded. At the same time, she suddenly felt that her cheeks were burning.
Feeling that her palm was also burning, Zhao Yanzi turned around and looked at Hao Ren while walking. "Am … Am I a burden?"
"Ah?" Hao Ren was a little surprised. He looked at her again and said, "No, don't you know how to read the compass?"
Zhao Yanzi who was blushing suddenly pouted and made a fierce expression, showing her white teeth. "Do you think I only know how to look at the compass?"
"Let's go. Aren't you a burden? I'm taking you with me today." Hao Ren quickened his pace and held Zhao Yanzi's soft hand tightly in his own. Then, he dragged her toward the west.
